The Land of Lakes.

Finland is, in the language of the
country, suomesimaa, 'the land of
lakes, StIIu uIITs5 - .,onIly tho &--.eh &,
as no less than One-third is under wa
ter. Much of this is, however, marsh
land, though the lakes Saima, Lodo-
60, Enara, ETC., cover some thous-
ands of square miles. The surface
of the country is fiat, with chain
of low hills about the center, the
highest of these being the mountain
Aavasasa. The coasts are deeply
indentured and picturesque, with
bold granite cliffs standing clear out
against the deep blue sky, and many
islands belonging to the Archipelago
of Aland dot the surface of its west
ern waters. Inland there are dense
forests of pine, fir and birch, which
have strange and enthralling infu-
ence on the Imagination.
Notwithstanding their usually SOM
ber aspect, there are innumerable
pleasant glades in the recesses of
these woods, where the tall, white
stemmed birch and great powders,
covered with lichens, crop up from
the grass, and form a pleasant pic
ture; beside this, the lakes have
o beanty-solemn and romantic
which can scarcely be found else
where. The landscape, too, dotted
with numerous windmills, and the
church towers, built apart from the
places of worship, present strange
pictures. From these towers the
night watchmen sound their horns or
play upon triangles as an alarm of
fire. These are mainly owing to the
carelessness of the peasantry, and,
combined with the great expectation
of timber and its lavish use for fire.
wood and for building purposes, have
caused a great rise in its value with
in the last few years.
Travelling in the country, though
cheap, is not always pleasant. Many
of the roads are what would be de-
scribed as "corduroy' is, hav-

manner calculated to make the bones
sore for considerable time after a
journey. The velocity with which
the natives send the carriage down
the hills is also likely to try the
nerves of any not to the manner
born. Most persons posting through
Finland have their opA vehicles
wheeled ones for the summer and
sledges for the winter-and they
change horses at each stage of about
fifteen yersts (ten English miles).

How Little We Know of Each
Other.

How little we know of each other.
We pass through the journey of life
With its struggles, its fears, its temptations,
Its heart-breaking cares and its strife;
We see things alone on the surface,
For few of US glory in sin;
And an unrufied face is no index
OF fires that rage wildly within.
How little we know of each other.
The man who walks quietly!by
With wealth and with honor and title,
And holds his head proudly on high.
Off carries dread secrets within him
That render existence q curse;
Dread secrets that scar his soul over,
OF crime, or misfortune, or worse.
How little we know of each other,
The woman of fashion, who sneers
Ar her siStn- ~~le.-> fafe lISEs dDsrIIl~--I
To poverty, misery, tears,
May prove ere the sun rise tomorrow
More deeply immersed in disgrace,
And the sadness sneered at in another
Be pictured upon her own face.
How little we know of each other.
OF our own hearts how little we know,
We are all feeble under temptation,
Be our station in life high or low.
Ali then let sweet charity rule US,
And help one another to win
The crown that awaits those who strive for
Avoidance of shame and of sin.

Special Providence?

Hush thee, my child, hear the newsboys cry
''An accident"-Ah me, that dreadful knell-
Within those tones, harsh and discordant lie
Life's two fold tale-a single note to tell
The birth 81 some fresh Woe newborn of chance,
The death of some fond hope, cut off to-day,
To swell the volume of earth's dissOnance
And echo on through human lives for aye!
Hark! Extra Extra! All about the great
Disaster" what has happened? Can it be
For US the air is laden with a weight
Ofnameess terrors, bearing down me!
Nay, this is weakness, these idle fears
That come to cheat me, darling, of thy smile;
So hush thee we will have no needless tears,
Thy father cometh in little while
What's this they cry? ''The Montreal up-trains,
The night express holocaust" My God,
Here boy! Give me paper quick, this strain
Viii kill me,-Father spare, oh spare thy rod!
Where? Where? God help US! It's his train,and he
Is dead or dying now, perhaps, while
Am helpless here, alone, my child, with theei-
Thy fathers dead! Oh, baby, let die!
Oh, twas fearful dream! dreamt, my dear,
That you were running on the ''sleeper" now
The easy berth you had to lose last year
And had been wrecked-were dead dead there,
and how!
Twas tenible,-I it all so plain,-
The ghasty horrors, lurid wreck, and you!
Those cruel heau lines burned into my brain!
That ''Holocaust''-thank God it not true!
The awful news of yesterday had left
Its impress on the restless brain, and there,
Imprisoned torture, pictured me bereft
OF all that life can give, that death spare!
And yet it might have been! IT'S very strange
How blind we in all that touches life.
Despite our prayers, our murmuring, the change
Is wrought, that leaves her widowed me a wife
The very train, the very you lost
Last year, and murmured at your luckless fate.
A blackened heap, beneath the bridge you crossed
In safety then, entombs its human freight
How patiently and long you sought the place,
How glad TO get it, when it at last.
How hard 10 lose it, in the bitter face
Of other trials which our lot forecast.
With thankful hearts the seeming good we owned,
With half rebe llious tried to say
'Thy will be done,' when changes came, and
groan'd
To tread in rougher paths, life's toilsome way.
Who chose between us-she who mourns her dead
And I, less worthy,-I who dared repne
Our lot, when fortune gave TO him instead
The seeming good?-who dares to say "Design?'
"Desgn!' Go the shifting sands displaced
BY oceans tides,-thyself atom,-heed
The silence there. The shores of time are traced
With records of eternity to read!-E1chonge

American Duels.

ing, especially the American duel,
much curiosity has been manifested Ia
this country to know just what passes
In Germany under the title OF the
American duel. The Chicago Herald
thus explains L.: The American duel
in Europe is a duel such as never oc.

come Jealous, they quarrel, insults are

ing death, and with a lofty wave OF
tbe hand announces that he will be
heard from on the morrow. That
ends the interview. The youth who
must die retires TO his rooms, arranges
his worldly matters as best he may,
pens A few farewells, and before the
sun rises again he finishes himself
with poison, steel or ball. No one
knows why he killed himself but the
individual who gambled with him on
the chances Of life or death. To every
body else the mysterious taking of re-
mains lnexplicable, and Is at length
forgotten. Calling this atrocious ar

other kind Of a duel makes little dif-
